A Nigerian Air Force C-130 entered Burkina Faso’s airspace and triggered two conflicting stories: Burkina Faso says it forced the plane to land for airspace violation, while Nigeria says it was only a safety diversion after a technical issue. Eleven soldiers were detained, the aircraft was seized, AES raised its alert level, and a strong warning was issued. This is the full breakdown of the plane, the detention, the warning, and the denial.
